Thanks for your concerns, the photo you see is a step before steel structures installation.

Basically, we do use steel structures to enhance walls, but some people use different techniques according to what type of walls is used, whether we use bricks, or all concrete walls, etc.

On the later pics, you can see that there are steel structures there.

Here are more pictures about it:

Steel structures

Hi hinjo,

TY for your return.I saw the principe and it is this which is amazing.

Why are not the steel structures in the first concrete ?

A second concrete will be put by over the first ?If yes, How do the twice concrete hold together ?

You make yourself the house or the house is building by an enterprise ?

Good luck.

I'm not an expert in building... It is how the builder here usually work that way... the first layer of rocks and cements as the foundation layer.. then, the concrete with steel structure just laid on top of it as the frames for walls.

I have friends helping me supervising and managing the workers and the progress of the project.

Cheers!

Good luck.

For me, that looks exactly like an earthquake protection. In this way, the earth can move under the house and the house itself remains due to the inertia relatively calm and thus unscathed.

That would be a logical explanation of it

Agree. Both useful and nice to see an SH3D house being built in real life. ok

Yes, Sweet Home 3D is not just for floor plan or interior design only, but for practical house building too...

Re: I'm Building This Dogtrot House!
Now, the bricks will be laid out... I have to decide how the door and window will be constructed and the measurements of it.

I plan to use all metal doors and windows using hollow steel and steel sheets, if possible, but I should consult with the door builder first.

I plan to use pivot hinge for the door, without door frames.

Consulting with an experienced builder is always a good idea and can save you a lot of costs and trouble later. ok

Re: I'm Building This Dogtrot House!Aug 15, 2018 Some part of walls already laid with bricks (AAC bricks) up to the window's lower rail position (80cm from floor). First photo is from West side, kitchen window. Second photo is from North side.

The bricks is not so nicely layered, but it's OK, it will be covered with plasters.

Hi hinjo,

The work is progressing well …

NB : I didn't see start and return of water (and start of electricity) in the base level.

See the example below :We see the all pipes.

Can you explain us ?.

You can not compare the way how we build houses in Europe and the way how they build houses in other parts of the world.What do you think why it is so expensive to build a house here in Europe?
